Chus PATO (Ourense, 1955) is one of the most emblematic voices of the contemporary Galician poetry. Author of ten collections of poems published between 1991 and 2013, amongst which we highlight the pentology Decrúa, antes método, compuesta por m-Talá (2000), Charenton (2004), Hordas de escritura (2008), Secesión (2009) and Carne de Leviatán (2013).

Her books have been published in several countries and she holds a significant projection in the Anglo-Saxon scope. Her anthology “Finis Terra” (Uitgeverij Perdu, Amnsterdan, 2017) is translated in Dutch. She is one of the selected poets by Daniella Seel for the publication “I Sit Like a Garbage God, Het feminisme in 14 gedichten” published by BOZAR.

Recently, the voice of Chus Pato has been added to the Woodberry Poetry Room of Harvard’s recordings: a repository of the greatest poets’ voices.
